Listen "Make Time"
Episode Synopsis
Make Time, by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky, presents a system for managing time and attention more effectively. The authors, experienced technology designers, identify "Busy Bandwagon" and "Infinity Pools" as the primary culprits of modern distraction, proposing a four-step process—Highlight, Laser, Energize, Reflect—to reclaim control. This involves prioritizing a daily Highlight activity, minimizing distractions with Laserfocus techniques, maintaining energy through Energize strategies, and regularly reviewing the system's effectiveness through Reflection. The book provides numerous practical tactics for implementing this system, addressing issues such as email management, technology use, and personal energy levels. Ultimately, Make Time encourages readers to redesign their relationship with technology and reclaim their time and attention.
